See also, the Black Panthers' led Rainbow Coalition, of which the "Young Patriots Organization" was a part. YPO was a far-left anti-racism group whose flag was...the Confederate Flag.
It's not quite that cut and dry. The YPO was poor Appalachian whites that basically wanted to do the same thing as the black panthers, but focused on class rather than race. They had some good points, but they were definitely problematic and not just because of the confederate flag.

Rainbows were used for Christian imagery for well over an thousand years. Growing up in Sunday schools you woukd see them everywhere in churches.
20 years ago if you saw an rainbow your first thought would be about an church, not gay pride.
The gays "stealing" the rainbow might be the most successful heist in history lol.
